It's not crash landing. It was _intentionally_ landed this way to test
a new landing system - rubber surfaced flight deck!

That's why aircraft carriers today put the rubber on the aircraft tyres,
not the carrier.

I'm going to have to disagree. The wide cockpit and big black nose say FAW to
me - which would make it a Sea Venom. The rubber deck trials were carried
out by a Vampire, as the Youtube video makes clear.
